The pain relief provided by high-frequency Interferential therapy can have life-enhancing effects for your chronic musculoskeletal pain patients.
Why is high frequency better at treating pain? It goes deeper.
The nature of high frequency assures that these electrotherapy signals are able to overcome the skin’s natural resistance and reach nerves deep in the tissue, providing fast-acting pain relief via Gate Control. As an added advantage, they also offer long-lasting pain relief via the release of endogenous opiates.
But high-frequency stimulation isn’t the only technology that makes the RS-4i Plus different. It’s just the beginning.
>> Premodulation - The RS-4i Plus doesn’t just go deeper. It uses a premodulated signal that treats a larger area of tissue than a standard TENS.
>> Intersperse® - The RS-4i Plus is the only device that combines Interferential therapy for pain relief and NMES for muscle rehabilitation in a single treatment session.
>> Pulse width control - The unique NMES waveform is engineered to stimulate both faster- and slower-twitch muscles to improve muscle function.

Why a VA Pain Specialist Recommends the RS-4i Plus

Dr. Gil Hager has years of experience helping Veterans with chronic pain. As a Physical Rehab physician recently retired from the VA, he spoke about his success treating patients with the RS-4i Plus, and why he’s depended on it as a viable treatment option.
Treating Tough Pain
“By the time they get to me, I would say the majority of patients have tried physical therapy modalities, medications and even TENS without much success,” he said. “They're still coming in with pain levels on the one to ten scale of greater than five. That has a negative effect on their ability to get out and do things in their life.”
While Dr. Hager acknowledged that there are many options for treating pain, he noted that the RS-4i Plus has, in his experience, proven to be an effective one.
“For general back muscle spasm pain, they all tend to be very responsive to the RS-4i Plus,” he said. “I've found the RS-4i Plus to be a modality that helps people increase their function, their capability to get up and get out and do something.”
Patient Reactions
Dr. Hager noticed that the RS-4i Plus helped many of his patients be more active, and many let him know just how much they loved it.
“I believe I've only had, in 12 years, one patient say he didn't notice a difference. Everyone else – I mean out of dozens, hundreds of patients – has had an extremely noticeable benefit from it.”
